The USA has given a good face to our politics and capitalism ..no offence to capitalism . This country has set up many political dictatorships around the world .At the cost of thousands of lives to set up , somewhat favourable countries to the USA but , maybe not be my place to critique , as i understand many places are much worse than here . But i am biased as a lower level local gov. based on the USA model of Gov. had my late husband murdered by some sort of unspoken agreement , that we were not made aware of till after the case of a dog attacking me and my husband killing the dog .But neighbours had friends in local law enforcement . And posed that my husband had abused this dog. And we had a rather evil lawyer to defend him/ us Whom used to be a part of another lower level gov judicial institution. Welcome to the real version of the USA
Do not know how this connected, but we were very much keep to ourselves people but It was after this threat upon my husband was made that a very close person whom we had help quite abit and his GF did the deed and then managed by miracle to be acquitted of the crime. Very odd.

One of the things where I believe USA is a better hegemon than i.e. Russia is that USA does not export its biggest problems.
Norway is very closely allied to USA and it has completely different social system. This is true about most of Europe.
I won't speak about other places in the world because sometimes "exporting democracy", especially to Middle East, it is a disastrous idea - but Europe has native democracies that can cooperate with USA without importing your deep social problems.

It's interesting that Republican party in USA is split between traditional Republican "hawks" and post-Trump isolationists. Hoping for presidential nomination, DeSantis remains silent on the topic that interests me the most.

The commenters I heard claim that Biden is attempting to "boil a frog" - increasing the temperature so slowly that the frog does not realize when it's being boiled and does not jump out.


I thought Biden was on good terms with Macron. :scratch:

To magz:
"Rock" speaks with a Polish accent. :mrgreen:

There is an English transcript that can be accessed, btw.

Quote:
Today's guest on „Rock Rachon” was John R. Schindler - a security expert and former National Security Agency analyst and counterintelligence officer. John tells us about the intelligence war that preceded the Russian aggression on Ukraine and that is still going on right now. Mr. Schindler, who's also been a Navy officer and a War College professor gives his frank opinion on the delusions that led to the Russian attack and shares his prediction for the future of the conflict.

Am not 100% sure on this but the original design of the Leopard was as a mobile artillery . But was built to deal with battle engagements . These tanks from what i read on Range to target statistics with deadly accuracy was almost one third farther than . Uhm..? 'Everybody Elses tanks'. So think any Leopards on the feild will be worth the physical
weight .. This is public knowledge for years now. How many Russian tank commanders would want to engage in that kind of combat ?. Unless they could produce somekind of Aerial Control .

Every good propagandist must have an alternative up their sleeve. And Kremlin has one - the Alternative for Germany, also known as AfD. Many of the far-right party's politicians and operatives have long been repeating talking points straight out of Moscow.

Allegations of brutal interrogations, where Ukrainian men were shot and threatened with rape, have been made by a former Russian military officer.

Konstantin Yefremov, the most senior officer to speak openly, told the BBC in an exclusive interview Russia now sees him as a traitor and defector, and he has now fled the country.

At one site in southern Ukraine, he said "the interrogations, the torture, continued for about a week".
